Pumpkin Cupcakes Using 2 Ingredients! :)

Hello everyone! Yesterday I was tweeting about an awesome dessert I made- Pumpkin Cupcakes! They actually could be a cupcake OR a muffin... I consider the frosted ones to be cupcakes... and the non-frosted to be more like muffins. But what's really important here is that they only took 2 INGREDIENTS to make! I owe all of my knowledge on this concept to the blog Sweet Verbena, which I discovered through my newest website obsession- Pinterest. It's a site where people post pictures and you can make your own little "boards" where you "pin" those recipes, outfits, home decor, etc. Many of them link back to a blog. You can see my boards on my Pinterest page.

How to make pumpkin cupcakes/muffins...

Get a can of pumpkin and a box of yellow cake mix

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees

Combine the two ingredients (I used a hand mixer)- batter will be thick

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes

You can doctor them up with things like cream cheese frosting or powdered sugar... I told my mom about this recipe and she threw in cinnamon & nutmeg and raisins, and added a streusel topping.

The end result is a SUPER moist muffin with pumpkin flavor. The pumpkin taste is nothing overpowering, but very yummy. You don't have to add oil, eggs, or anything to the batter- and I think that's so cool! If you have a fall gathering and you need to throw something together quick, this is a no-brainer and both Tyler and I loved them! I could also picture these being very tasty heated up with a scoop of ice cream on the side! :)

Daily Nuggets...

Continuing to use up vacation time before the end of the month- I have a 4-day weekend! Lucky, I know. :)

I now have the new Wet n Wild matte palette, as well as the baked and glitter palettes. I'll review once I get a chance to use them!

These are SO good! I used the Pumpkin mix and the Yellow cake mix, and I put in just a bit of [maybe a table spoon]. They are so Creamy, and light, and fresh! I Made cream cheese frosting to go with them, they're AMAZING! My mom told me she wants these instead of pumpkin pie this year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. :) Thank you Emily!

I made these using spice cake mix and adding a half cup of craisins & a half cup of Hersheys cinnamon chips. I topped them with a streusel topping made of chopped pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon & butter. Lots of raves!

I actually don't like pumpkin flavored stuff, but I've been making these for years with devils food cake mix. Unless you concentrate really hard you can't taste the pumpkin flavor at all, and they are much lower in fat than traditional cupcakes/muffins. I say muffins because in my opinion the texture is much more that of a muffin.
